This experiment was dangerous!

Where's the bus?

The year seven and I rushed into our seats and we started with our day. Our
first experiment was to inflate our balloon by using heat energy. We got a tripod,
meths burner, ice cube, flask, gauze mat and matches.

We first had to light our meths burner and we had to put a tripod under it.
We put our gauze plate on top of the tripod. We got hand ice and we were told
to put it into the flask. But there was a problem.

We couldn't get the icecube in the flask. So we had to use hands to rub the ice
cube until it melts. I got paper towels and put it under my friends hand while he
was rubbing the ice between his hand. We then tried to put the ice cube in the
flask. IT WORKED!

We then stretched the balloon. We then put a balloon over it and put the flask
onto the GAUZE mat. With the lit burner the ice turned in to water which then turned into steam.

The steam went to the air and inflated the balloon. Reason being because the
cold air was warmed by the heat making steam. Steam filled the balloon and
inflated it.

We then took the balloon of and the experiment was finish.

This experiment was fun but indeed dangerous.
